      Excel ANPR PCN Letter Of Claim - Appealed - Gallagher retail park, Huddersfield, HD5 0AN

      Agree HB. Remove the cease and desist stuff. Otherwise it's a cracker! Shame you've used so many big words that they will just not understand.😅

      That sounds pretty good. My only concern is the bit about the cease and desist letter to Excel, please wait for the guys to comment on your letter. HB

      No mention of Schedule 4 of POFA = Only the driver is liable, not the keeper. Simply don't tell them who the driver is, which means  don't appeal. From a quick search of the site, yours is the first case I can see with Carparksecurities we've seen here so it'd be excellent if you keep up to date and engage with this thread. General advice is to ignore everything until / unless you ever get a letter of claim.

      Excel ANPR PCN Letter Of Claim - Appealed - Gallagher retail park, Huddersfield, HD5 0AN

      By WarriorRage · Posted

      So I am now in receipt of a second Letter of Claim this time from DCBL although their letter head now says " DCBLegal"  😱 Now I'm guessing one response to a letter of claim is sufficient and I could ignore this but having been inspired by other snotty letters I wanted to have another bash at one. How does this sound? Dear Lackeys of Company with Unconscionable Morals, Thank you ever so much for gracing me with yet another Letter Before Claim on behalf of Excel Parking Services. How many of these delightful missives do you plan on sending before you muster the courage to follow through on your threats to take me to court? Just so we're clear, here is the response (in italics by that I mean the slanted text below) I previously sent to Excel’s Letter Before Claim, in case your attention to detail is as lacking as I suspect: I am currently 2-0 up in terms of Small Claims Court proceedings and I look forward to the opportunity to claim a hat trick, this case being more straightforward than my previous two. I will be asking the court for an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) due to your conduct over this absurd claim. Despite my best efforts, you continue to assert that I have breached your terms. However, I cannot breach terms that I was not present to accept. Have you even read my initial response? I suggest you review it thoroughly and save yourself some money. Additionally, please refer to section 13 of the IPC Code of Practice, 2023 edition. I eagerly await your deafening silence. Remarkably, I haven't heard a peep from Excel since my response; instead, they've passed the baton to you to perform this tiresome routine once more. Consider this my official notice that I am sending a cease and desist letter to Excel Parking Services. Their relentless hounding has crossed the line into clear harassment. Any further demands for payment from you, as Excel's lackeys, will be regarded as nothing more than shameless acts of intimidation and harassment. I now look forward to the deafening sound of your silence. Yours sincerely,

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

I'll tell you what then, I will remove my advice and make it easy for all and then we can just listen to the idiots, which from some posts is apparent they have no understanding of how the system works!

 

I could also be all of the things you mention, but I get nothing out of it so what would be the point in lying.

& it's also fairly obvious from his answers, that he is none of these things. Any regular contributor to this site should be able to tell that!

 

Back to Danilou again. If everything you have said is correct then all you can do at the IUC is tell the truth. I'm no expert on ESA letters, but you will have been sent an award notice & the ESA rules at some point during your claim, probably on more than one occasion. You will have to explain why you didn't read them & hopefully there are no false forms or statements in your claim documents to destroy your excuse.

 

The overpayment amount cannot be changed, but whether a criminal offence has taken place or not is yet to be decided.

The overpayment amount can be changed on appeal if the diminishing capital rule hasn't been applied. Less common for the dwp to forget to apply it, but it does happen.

 

Yes. But what I meant was that in this case, nothing will in the change in the amount of the overpayment as a result what happens at the IUC.

 

The exact amount will probably not have been calculated yet, but as long as the DM applies the rules correctly, the dates & amounts of money involved should already have been established. The IUC is to see why the overpayment has happened & to see if any further action is required as a result of the overpayment.

True the IUC changes nothing. Post IUC if the OP disagrees with the decision reached, for a valid reason, then the only recourse is to appeal the decision to a Tribunal.

So I had my interview at 11am, it lasted 45 minutes so not too bad.

Through the interview and my extensive paperwork and bank statements it was incredibly obvious that the overpayment has been their fault, not mine.

At the beginning of the interview I was told that I would be informed at the end of the interview if my case would be taken for prosecution and I wasn't so that's great!

 

The DWP were under the impression that I was always on income based (means tested) but on showing all the letters I have received the interviewer admitted that it would appear that I have been on contributions based.

 

I'm so relieved and can finally eat after 5 days of non stop worry! Thanks all :)

fraud officer LOL ? Says it all . I am going though hell at the moment still and its a shame that Fraud officers don`t go by facts. That's why I said I heard....Its up to people who post the threads to believe it or not. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands. I think they make up the rules as they go along .. They say one thing and do another. How did you get on today at your interview Danilou91?

They have still stopped my benefits until a 'decision maker' decides if I have to pay anything back or not.

My mum asked why they went straight to an IUC and all they could say was that its standard procedure, typical!

I hope you won`t after pay anything back as wasn't your fault. I still don`t know where I stand and because they stopped my housing benefit / council tax benefit if it isn't sorted it couple weeks wont have home :( .. Please let me know what the Decision maker decides and I hope you hear off them soon

Things can't be done a different way, if an offence is believed to have been commited any further contact has to be under caution as potentially the outcome could be court, so anything said has to be recorded to cover all concerned.

 

It's also not crystal clear from the outset of an investigation of what has actually happened, as with most cases evidence normally collected appears to show guilt. Once you hear both sides of the story and get a claimants explanation this occasionally changes things as they can explain why you might have x, y or z. The point of an IUC is to obtain the facts.

That is why i said support group esa..where it is not income related.

 

Support Group ESA can be contribution or income related. If it's income related, the same capital limits apply to the SG as apply to the WRAG or the assessment phase.

Any idea how the contribution bit works Or a link for explanation?

ok found it..

 

To be entitled to contributory employment and support allowance you must have paid enough national insurance contributions.

 

What if I have savings or other income, will that matter?

 

It does not matter what other income or savings you have, other than any occupational or personal pension. This may reduce how much contributory ESA you receive.

 

If you are placed in the support group there will be no time limit on how long you can receive contributory ESA.

Yes, this is all correct, but does not apply to those who are on Income Related ESA and are in the Support Group.
